Abstract art is now generally understood to mean Art that does not Depict objects in the Natural World , but instead uses shapes and colors in a Non-representational or Subjective way. In the very early 20th Century , the term was more often used to describe art, such as Cubist and Futurist art, that depicts real forms in a simplified or rather reduced way - keeping only an allusion of the original natural subject. Such paintings were often claimed to capture something of the depicted objects' immutable Intrinsic qualities rather than its external Appearance . See Abstraction . The term non-figurative is used as a synonym. HISTORY Non-objective art is not an invention of the twentieth century. In the Jewish and Islamic religion the depiction of human beings was not allowed. Consequently the Islamic and Jewish cultures developed a high standard of Decorative Art s. Calligraphy is also a form of non-figurative art. Abstract designs have also existed in western culture in many contexts. However, Abstract art is distinct from pattern-making in design, since it draws on the distinction between decorative art and Fine Art , in which a painting is an object of thoughtful contemplation in its own right. , according to Annie Besant and C.W. Leadbeater in '' Thought Forms '' (1901).]] Even before the widespread use of photography some artists, such as , in which abstract "thought forms" were used to illustrate the psychic forces supposedly generated by emotions, music and other events. The work of Wassily Kandinsky and Kasimir Malevich as well as Natalia Goncharova and Mikhail Larionov (see Rayonism ), are generally seen as the first fully abstract paintings in 1911. Movements in modern art are to be considered in terms of the concepts which they exemplify, accompanied as they were by Manifestos and declarations. , Mark Rothko and Robert Motherwell . Op Art (1962) and Minimalism (1965) are the most recent idioms. It is, at present, more likely that an artist's work is seen as an individual entity rather than part of a movement. Sean Scully, John McLaughlin, Callum Innes, Robert Stark and Yuko Shiraishi are some abstract painters of today. GALLERY |
